The Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project is a program dedicated to bringing educational opportunities to prisoners in Alabama. The program believes it's important for the adult prison population to gain a quality education, and also to build a relationship with learning that will continue to grow for the rest of their lives.
APAEP provides access to sustained and quality educational experiences in the arts and humanities to prisoners in Alabama. These learning experiences contribute to the positive development of the person. As one Warden said of our programming, "I can always tell who is a participant in the Alabama Prison Arts + Education Programming because they present an air of purpose, they are challenged and driven to succeed in learning. They know education is a key for their success when they get out."
This exhibit features work from art classes from 2004 to the present from prisons in Alabama ranging from minimum to maximum security. Supported by the National Endowment for the Arts since 2003, APAEP offers classes in the arts and humanities to individuals in Alabama state prisons.
